First site to ban US players. Party poker to follow suit.

I know this was mentioned in the past but I encourage anyone interested to continue doing things like this....I have already sent an email and called once before and I am going to do it again....

find your senator....hell call any of them....and let them know how you really feel. Things like this can and will be changed, however the timeframe for the change is entirely dependent on the actions taken by those that oppose it.

hmmm so if this happens- more and more card games will pop up- custom chips will be more of a necessity then ever-- business SHOULD go up at Palm Imports...
this COULD be a good thing...
Underground emporiums will flourish---

Lets keep the kiddy porn sites available though- especially on google--
lets not go crazy and ban something like that-

Yup- lets let the government decide what the people need best

911 all over again-- its a conspiracy I tell ya

it's a Canadian conspiracy, you heard it here first!

the black hand is trying to force Americans into Canada, so Canadians will have cool new friends to pal around with.

You could always move to Australia. Internet gambling is okay here, and the weather is great. Unfortunately the casino poker rooms aren't that good.

Europe and Australia are definitely options, but then they'd have to pay ridiculous fees for shipping to import custom poker chips from the US. Canada is the way to go!

I actually got an email a few days before this ridiculous amendment went through from William Hill poker/casino telling me they are severing their business with all US customers. Wasn't sure why for a couple of days, then this do-nothing bill hit the wire.
